access 2003 controls

[Guest]

I am building an application for my command that will have office 2003
installed. Unfortunately, I have ALOT of other software installed on my
developer PC. I DO NOT want to use any extra controls that the users do not
have with their installation of Office 2003. How do I know when I choose to
add or use other controls to the toolbar, which controls only came with
access 2003. I am not allowed to use other controls other the ones that come
with Office 2003 because I do not have access to the registry to register
things like OCXs and things like that.

If you only use the ones on the "Toolbox" toolbar itself, not the ones
that are listed when you click the "More Controls" button in the
Toolbox, or when you click menu items Insert -> ActiveX Control..., then
I think you're safe. Also, in the VB Editor click Tools ->
References..., and look for any references besides these basic ones:

Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
OLE Automation

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

The last two are optional -- either or both may be present, or
conceivably neither. I'm not sure what version of the ADO Library is
installed by default with Access 2003. I know that 2.1 is installed
with Access 2000. On my system, which has Access 2000 and 2002
installed, but not 2003, I have 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7.

If you're using pivot tables and pivot charts, I think you may also have
to have a reference to the Office Web Components, but I'm not sure
exactly what the name of that reference is.

Just got Office 2004 for Mac, and am having some difficulties getting a
default signature into my emails I send.

Also, and random signature programs recommended here that are compatible?

I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. This particular newsgroup
is devoted to discussion of Microsoft Access, the database program (for
which there is no Macintosh version, by the way). Anyhow, try your
question in one of the newsgroups devoted to Office for the Macintosh.
I think their names all begin "microsoft.public.mac.office".

I agree with that, but I was assuming that Access only displays a few of its
built in controls just to keep the toolbox at a small size. Are any of those
other <more> controls part of access as well. Unfortunately, there is no way
for me to tell what comes with access versus other controls..... See what I
mean ?

No, that's the lot. All the "More Controls" controls are ActiveX,
AFAIK. A few of them you could probably rely on being on any user's
system, but not necessarily in the exact same location as on yours.
